Andrew Killick finds his inspiration from the countryside. “I look at nature and try to envisage my own interpretation with a vibrant use of colour.” He says. Killick, who has a studio set in The Royal Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, UK, is surrounded by one of England’s few remaining ancient forests, covering 27,000 acres of woodland. It has been the inspiration for many great artists and writers including JRR Tolkien, Dennis Potter and JK Rowling. Particularly inspired by the effects of the changing seasons his latest series of works are influenced by the autumn leaves. "I have drawn my inspiration from what the Japanese call 'momijigari' a phrase for the simple enjoyment of autumn leaves in all their finery. The pieces I produce share a commonality, yet each one is individual in its own right. If someone pauses just for a moment and looks at a painting, then I have achieved my goal.”
